[Problem/Bug]: In UWP WebView2, on a touchscreen, long-press on link doesn't show context menu, while mouse/touchpad right-click does

[warpedcyberspace]

What happened?

A long-press on touch screen devices on a webpage loaded in WebView2 doesn't show the Context Menu, while right click using mouse or touchpad works fine.

Importance

Blocking. My app's basic functions are not working due to this issue.

Repro steps

1. Open https://google.com in a WebView2 control on a computer with touchscreen available.
2. Right-click on the About link using mouse/trackpad and notice the context menu opens correctly.
3. Long-press on touchscreen on the same About link. Nothing shows up. Screen will freeze a bit. Need to move the mouse/trackpad to reset the page to bring it back to life.
4. Note that long-press on touchscreen on the page without any link/image works fine.

Thanks for checking. I can replicate the issue in this simple project so hope that it helps you to reproduce the issue as well.

I am attaching a simple UWP Project that has Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls added for WebView2 control. When you compile and launch the App it opens Google homepage. On a touchscreen computer, try long-press on the screen on any link. The context menu doesn't open.
